Black day in history of India’s democracy, Arvind Kejriwal after Rajya Sabha passes Delhi services bill

New Delhi: Soon after the Rajya Sabha passed the Delhi Services Bill, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday stated that it was a 'black day' for India’s democracy and accused the BJP-led Union government of trying to 'usurp' power through the backdoor.

AAP supremo accused the BJP of



backstabbing the people of Delhi and claimed that the bill was an “insult” to their right to vote.

Parliament on Monday passed a contentious bill that gives the Central government control over bureaucrats in the Delhi govt with the Rajya Sabha approving it with 131 votes in favour and 102 against.
